Rajya Sabha Today / 'Rajya Sabha chairman was called a chairleader'- JP Nadda lashes out at Congress

Rajya Sabha Today: The winter session of Parliament witnessed a huge uproar once again today. In the Rajya Sabha, Union Health Minister JP Nadda launched a scathing attack on the Congress and accused the opposition of not respecting parliamentary traditions. He said that the Congress has insulted Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar.

Controversy over remarks made on the chairman

JP Nadda alleged in his statement that Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has made derogatory remarks against the Chairman and called him a "chairleader". Nadda not only called this statement unparliamentary but also termed it against parliamentary decorum. The government announced to bring a censure motion in this matter.

JP Nadda said, "Congress should clarify what is the relationship of George Soros with Sonia Gandhi. This type of attitude towards the chairman is unacceptable, and the people of the country will never forgive it."

Mallikarjun Kharge's counterattack

Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge, while responding to the allegations of BJP, said that the government has failed to run the House. Kharge said, "BJP is trying to divert the country's attention from real issues."

While Kharge was speaking, there was a ruckus in the House, due to which the Chairman adjourned the proceedings.

Allegations and counter-allegations continued outside the House

The controversy did not end even after the House was adjourned. Talking to reporters in the Parliament premises, JP Nadda said, "It is unfortunate to question the Chairman's decision. Kharge publicly accused the Rajya Sabha Chairman, which is condemnable. He was given many opportunities to put forth his point in the House and in the Chairman's chamber, but he boycotted them. It is clear from this that the Congress's aim is not to give constructive cooperation in the House, but to spread anarchy."

Chairman's decision and Congress's stand

During the afternoon session, Chairman Dhankhar placed the listed papers and reports in the House. After this, notices were given on six issues, which were rejected. The Chairman announced the adjournment of the day's work.

Congress called it a violation of democratic processes. The party says that the government is trying to suppress the voice of the opposition.

Political allegations and counter-allegations continue

Allegations and counter-allegations continue between the government and the opposition both inside and outside the Parliament. While the government is accusing the opposition of spreading anarchy and insulting parliamentary decorum, the Congress is accusing the government of weakening democratic institutions.

This uproar indicates that the remaining days of the session may also remain similarly tense.
